Chamomile Soap

Another new batch! :D

This one is called Rolling Clouds because it sorta looks like clouds. The color of blue is cornflower-blue, and the soap is off white. It looks just like the sky on a pleasant spring day.
It has lavender scent and chamomile extract. Chamomile has been used for a long time for treating the skin. It is best known to be used in tea, but is also used in lotions to sooth skin irritations.

Ingredients:
2 oz Sweet Almond Oil
4 oz Canola Oil
9 oz Coconut Oil
9 oz Olive Oil
9 oz Palm Oil
4 Oz Safflower Oil
A few drops of Lavender Scent
A few drops of Chamomile Extract

Onigiri!

Nom...Nom... Nom...
Mmm...

More soap wrapping!

Here are some more designs for wrapping soap!

This is a plastic bag with a doily on the top and a ribbon.
This one is wrapped with a ribbon and has dyed macaroni glued on. Isn't it cute?
This one is my favorite. It is wrapped with this pretty purple ribbon that has a nature feel to it.
Inside, the purple aurora soap matches. Its so purple! :D

Expectations

Two tests...
Two grades...
Two reactions...

I got an 94% on my science test and I felt sad.

I got a 70% on my math quiz and I was ready to celebrate.

The Reason:

I was optimistic about the science test, and I was pessimistic about the math quiz.

On the science test...

I thought I did would get no more than a -2...

BUT I GOT A -3!

On the math quiz...

I thought I would get less than a 50%...

BUT I GOT A 70%! :D

Pessimism: You are either correct or pleasantly surprised.

So which are you?

Venus Fly Trap

Yesterday, while I was at art class, my brother bought a venus fly trap.
Its the nomnom plant! When a bug crawls over this little sensor hair in the middle of the jaw, it snaps shut--really fast! I was surprised at how fast it moved. How do plants move anyways? Does it have muscles...? We took turns capturing ants from outside and feeding them to the fly trap. XD Venus fly traps are cool... :D

Honey Soap

My mom made a new batch of soap yesterday, with honey! :D

Honey has cool antiseptic properties, and is widely known for its yumminess and tasty aroma. It is commonly used and infused for its healing characteristics.
